Check out our line up of all star presenters during our fifth breakout session
Session 5: 1:35 – 2:05
Equity and social justice are two key items that are becoming prevalent within education circles. However, before these things can take root with fidelity, educators must hone in on their beliefs and biases to ensure they are operating in an equitable mindset. Matt will lead participants in this self-reflection technique.
In this presentation, I will be outlining the various spaces and platforms that are relevant for educators today. Using examples, I will be detailing out why they should be considered, and how they each play an integral part in building a quality professional profile inside and outside of the classroom.
This presentation gives pre-service and new teachers the tools they need to build the strongest possible foundation in the early years of their teaching career.
With so many conversations around race and ethnicity in our educational spaces, it is important to understand that some of the best intentions have unintended consequences. Join me as I share my story of being raised "white" despite a very obvious conflict … I'm not. I will discuss how this approach to equity and inclusion shaped my perceptions and experiences both in and out of school
